Hi, Sue.
Along with acrostics, this is probably my least fav poetry form. Too much required repetition, IMHO. The trick is to make the lines REALLY o/s and I can't imagine a better effort within the theme you've chosen. Well done, Ray xx

    Ah!! I like the word, outstanding! :-))

    You know, I don't like the acrostic either. Bores me to tears! HA!!
    I'm glad you liked my poem even though you don't like the form!

A thoroughly enjoyable triolet and a contender for the contest challenge.

One thing:

Unique! We are, born with free will
(I don't think the comma is needed in this line).

    Duane, you are right. I just saw that comma and wondered how it got there! HA!! Just removed it. Thanks so much for your very kind review. Sue :-)

I hope reviewers read your notes, so that they do not wonder about or criticize your explanation mark. I thought it was used to very good effect. I enjoyed your strong rhymes and meter. Your friend's artwork resonated really well with your theme about our birth gift of free will.

    I've read enough triolets to feel comfortable in changing the punctuation. In fact, I just love that treatment! (I hope they read the notes, also!) Thanks very much for your very kind review. Sue :-)

Thank God for that! I do enjoy having my free will and I'm very grateful indeed to be able to exercise it, a lot around the world aren't so lucky!
I've just had a go at one of these, they are very challenging[it was for me] you have done a fine job of course, good Luck Sue.

    Hi Hitch! Yeah, I just read yours. Excellent! Thanks so much for your great review on mine. Yes, we are so fortunate to exercise the free will we are born with. The reason that freedom is so essential for all of mankind! Sue :-))

Well written triolet, dear Sue. It is an interesting topic and you somehow made a didactic tone fit in the musical flow of this style.

Nicely presented too.

No nits or spag.

Love, rd
